It sprawls over 294 square miles of noisy, crowded city, smoothly blending together dusty railroad yards and vel- vety green parks, worn, dirty tenements and bright suburban cottages, tree-studded boule- vards and garbage-laden al- leys, the crystal clarity of Lake Michigan and the oily scum of the Chicago River. All this is our campus by the same token that the world is our oyster. It ' s all right here waiting for us to pry off the shell. And it doesn ' t have to exercise much patience as far as we of Wilson are concerned. In fact, we ' ve pried off this shell so thoroughly and so often by our constant usage of all the city ' s facilities that we ' ve claimed it as our campus — not our campus in the usual, limited sense of the word, not just an inane, grassy little park connecting a few ivy-cornered buildings but a huge, living metropolis at our service, crammed with libraries, stockyards, employment oppor- tunities, concert halls, burlesque theatres, stock exchanges, and people of all sizes, creeds, and nationalities.

CULTURE. is between our campus and the glorified play- grounds attached to most universities. This space is even further widened when you real- ize the enormous educational worth of our campus. A glimpse into the John Crerar Library jus across from the Chicago Public Library wil always disclose a few Wilsonians scattered about at the various tables hyp- notized by the pithy fine print of some bulky reference volume. English 102 students bring their thick stacks of note cards here and set down enough jottings to convoy them safely through their term papers. Students in the sciences flock here to im- merse themselves in the un- equalled collections of scien- tific works. It ' s not every campus that has the finest reference library in the country located so con- veniently right in its center. Outside the field of strictly reference books, we need only to cross Randolph Street to have the Public Library ' s massive typographical col- lections at our beck and call-slip. These two ware- houses of erudition, when added to the many branch libraries and the excellent, amazingly versatile library to be found in our own miniature Chicago, form a gar- gantuan bookshelf always available for use. And then there ' s the Art Institute. Wilson students Soldiers Field Wilson Chem Lab I Borden ' s Laboratory are a familiar sight around this Michigan Boulevard Louvre. So much so in fact, that the lions usually nod pleasantly to us as we mount the steps. The Art In- stitute is of particular benefit to our Humanities and Fine Arts classes, both for its use as a labo- ratory for first hand study, and for the Institute lecturers who come to Wilson and verbally trace for us the development of sculpture and painting through the ages — with vividly illustrated colored slides. Our own Arts Room reflects much of this benevolent influence in the surprisingly good student paint- ings on exhibition there. The Field Museum is another cultural mecca for Wilsonites, with its authentic Egyptian Hall, its mineral displays, and its com- prehensive anthropological exhib- its running from Cro-Magnon through Superman rendering it invaluable to Physical Science, Humanities, and Biological Science classes. For the more materialistic- minded student there is the Rosenwald Museum of Science and Industry, where he may have his fill of twirling complicated dials, manipulat- ing toy airplanes, and playing with thousand volt sparks. Much of this mechanical doodling may also be had in our own well-equipped Physical Science Museum. But our campus does not confine its instruc- tional efforts merely to carefully planned ex- hibits and the stored-up knowledge and culture of the past. It also employs one of the most ancient, most fundamental forms of education known to man. Oxir campus teaches by example.

Our embryo chemical engineers, not con- tent with theoretical textbook knowledge, have organized excursions to, among oth- ers, the modernistic Kraft-Phenix and Sherwin-Williams experimental laboratories. Here they can observe at close range some of the nation ' s finest chemists under actual work- ing conditions, see how a real in- dustrial lab looks and how it func- tions, learn from their guides the background and complete story of each operation about which they are curious. All the knowledge thus gained can be applied with good effect right here in the all- purpose Wilson lab. Another facet of Chicago ' s end- lessly varied personality was taken advantage of by the Retail Execu- tives ' Club, who rose at dawn to be special guests at a fruit auction. While this may sound somewhat dull and prosaic at first, the rapid- fire barking of the auctioneer, the pent-up excitement of the bidders. and the swift transference of gaudy carloads of fruit really make it a highly colorful spectacle. Our number one gadabouts, however, have been the members of the Commerce Club who have de- scended upon the Federal Reserve Bank, the Postoffice and its branches, the Borden-Wieland Dairy, and Don- nelly ' s Lakeside Press, to name a few. Seeing Chicago at work in this manner is quite an inspiration for all of us. It ' s sort of a sneak preview of Chicago Public Library Art Institute our respective futures, giving us each a goal to strive for and a more definite notion of how best to achieve it. You might say that actual observation is worth a thou- sand pictures, which, if we follow through on the original, automati- cally gives it equal rating with a million words. But don ' t think that it always re- quires organized trips to lure Wil- sonites into exploring the various nerve centers of our campus. Our own initiative and curiosity are usu- ally sufficient. Press members can go through the Daily T ews building; Bi Sci students have the stockyards. The Merchandise Mart, Union De- pot, Adler Planetarium, the Wrigley Building, all are but a sampling of the limitless number of willing guinea pigs the inquisitive student has at his disposal. What traditional college campus could give us opportunities like these? Certainly Champaign, Ann Arbor, or New Haven have nothing to compare with Chicago, where one can go down to the Chicago River and see such sights as the Norwegian Fjell Line ships fresh from their blockade running trips across the Atlantic. We also see an endless array of interesting peo- ple here on our campus. Sit in the ball park bleachers sometime, or ride a midnight street car and you ' ll notice the amazing variety in appear- ance, action, and thought possible in the human race. We are constantly observing people not just of our own kind, our own age, but of all kinds and all ages. This everyday exposure to a large and heterogeneous group of people is, according to psychologists, one of the most valuable experiences one can undergo. It gives him the necessary tol- erance and understanding so essential to a harmo- nious intermingling with all types of people. Demo- crat and Republican alike. You see, our campus teaches us how to live. BOV-AFreR. DWNWWC- M AU.TMIS cucryRB. Yoy M   7_ ViM L TZALWIE AND HVS %UOt)V A(iE V«ETTV DWr. WEU, n EV AttB. SO, WftltE WAUONfr B CK FBOM THE v u g PP?

Any special event at Soldier Field will find us al most as well represented as will a special event in our own spacious auditorium. Some of us will even be selling cans of beer or Sen-Sen, or be down on the field singing in some music festival. We go to the beach to exercise the talents picked up in the walled-in Lake Michigan of our vest-pocket Chicago and very often find brawny Wilson students acting OS lifeguards. The downtown and neighborhood movies give us an endless cinematic choice and like as not we ' re escorted through the bizarre picture palace inte- riors by Wilsonite ushers. When we dance, it ' s not unusual to spot a class- mate glued to the mouthpiece of a trum- pet or clarinet or to have one fizz up a few sodas for us after the dance. We also see them in grocery stores, behind department store counters, at news- stands, in waiter ' s outfits; in fact we see them at work throughout the city. So you see, our campus, instead of merely furnishing us with a two year vacation from life, keeps us right on the scene of action and furnishes us with all the opportunities to equip ourselves completely for the coming struggle. We appreciate fully our privilege in having Chicago spread out before us like some monstrous mechanical genii, forever at our service with all its institutions, knowledge, and vast stores of experience. And we show our appreciation by incessant usage of the muse- ums, fruit auctions, jobs, libraries, theatres, people, laboratories, and all the rest. Yes, there can ' t be much doubt about it. Our campus is definitely no ordinary campus. a-l- ' - ' ii ' MiHlllilifflli: ' :-.

Sophomore A The graducrting clas s of any year is con- sidered by those who hove and those who haven ' t — graduated — to be the most interesting. After two years of life at Wilson, these stu- dents face the challenging world. While some will go on to senior college, others will find themselves a place in the business world. The class elected Lenny Rifas as president; Jean Hartwick, vice-president; Sara Aronberg, secretary; and Irwin Hirsch, treasurer. Their senators were George Dahlin, Lawrence Doyle, Elizabeth Johnson, Jean Johnson, and Sam Maragos. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Marvin Laser, the class has gone forward with a crammed program of activities. The Prom Committee, Norma Geffin chairman, has scheduled the Lake Shore Athletic Qub as the site for this event. The Class Day Committee, ' under Phyllis Chiapetti, planned a luncheon at International House. The Ring and Pin Committee, with chairman George Stefanopolos, and the Class Gift Committee, under Blanche Stein and Alma Jachera, are both working to give the graduates and Wilson itself a lasting remembrance of the class of ' 41. In addition, an outing was planned with Palos Park as the location. All in all, this year ' s crop of Sophomore A ' s has been hard to beat. From Sigma Beta Pi to the Profiie and back again to Timi and the Junior Staff, the Sophomore A ' s have proved their merit. pimmfmmmmm Joseph I. Adler Evelyn Beryl Alexander Sara Aronberg John E.

Dispensing with class meet- ings and the like, the Sophomore B ' s are wending their headless way through the annals of Wilson life. At present the class has only a sec- retary, Phyllis Wendell, vice-president, Al Glass, and a senator, Margaret Shiu. With no president to call meetings and no treasurer to collect dues, the Sopho- more B ' s lead a life of comparative ease. The editor-in-chief of the Press and many of his editors come from this class. Other members have been active in track, baseball, and basket- ball. But as a class, the Sophomore A ' s seem to be rugged individualists, each one bent on having a little class of his own— with a membership of one. In its last semester, this class will probably sit up and take notice. It will probably have a super-prom and things like that. But right now, the way things stand, Wilson ' s headless wonders are just taking it good and easy. Florence Buckendahl Mildred Cohen Moorgaret Condon Jeanette Corush Philip O. Dickinson Rosemary F.

It seemed as though every Freshman A and his brother had decided to run for office. This interest, if typical of the class, is typical of the individuals who go to moke it. The Freshman A ' s elected Elaine Cohn, Elliott Gordon, Mary Hughes, Dean Later, and Al Long as senators. They also elected Robert Grieve, Ber- nard Mamet, Sam McDowell, Grace Rinkema, and Robert Walker as com- missioners. This interest in the Student Senate is matched by the part they played in activities ranging from the Swimming Club to the Little Theater. PICTURES AT THE LEFT (left to right): Bob Grieve, Grace Rinkema, and Sam McDowell. Freshman B The longer you stay at Wilson, the more interested you become. The huge college seems formidably new to an entering freshman. It seems like an unfriendly city of busy, preoccupied students, each intent on minding his own business and his own life. As a Wilsonite becomes acquainted with the col- lege, he begins to see things which, as a Freshman, were completely hidden. The social life of the college depends to a large extent on the friends he makes, and so after a semester or two he slips, almost without knowing it, into the stream of college affairs. Elsewhere in this year ' s Profile, the Sophomore A Class is represented. A fair percentage of this class turned out for the picture. The Freshman B class has 902 members. The Profile picture shows only thirty of these students. Only S c of the class! And yet, no one can soy that the Freshman B ' s are indifferent to college life, unconcerned with the activity going on around them. A lively race for the offices of commissioner and senator showed Wilson that this class was remarkably interested in the college. The only conclusion which can be drawn from the evidence is this: the Freshman B class has not yet learned how to act as a whole, a unified portion of the college structure. Because of the very fact that they are so new to Wilson, they hove yet to learn how to behove as an integrated group. Wilson isn ' t the only place this happens. Every college class the country over has faced this problem at one time or another. The difference lies in the atti- tude of the other classes to this one terribly green bunch of students. At some colleges a rigid caste sys- tem is so severely enforced that no one is ever allowed to forget for one moment what class he belongs in. At Wilson, you ' re green only once. From then on you belong to every class. !tti-.l.. 5 : , •i r n i , FmST ROW: Alice Carroll, Muriel Zimring, Theresa Cataldo, Florence Tish, Betty Ashton, Helen Pomerance, Louise Galst, Erline Churchill.

ALUMNI The Alumni group, consisting of Wilson ' s former graduates, functions as an active outside organization whose aim is to serve the school in every possible way. Under the guidance of Dr. Horace Williston, the club sponsor, the organization has already contributed ninety dollars to the Student Loan Fund at Wilson The club ' s recent activities, to which all Wilson was in- vited, included the semi-annual picnic which was held at Green Lake, a Blackout Dance which was given at International House on the University of Chicago campus, and the third annual basketball game which was played between the Alumni and the faculty after which a dance was held. Officiating at the Alumni ' s regular outside sessions and meetings were former Wilsonites, Joseph Koss serving as presi- dent, John Gildroy as vice-president, Florence Tish as secretary, Martin Zimring as treasurer, and Louise Galst as sergeant- at-arms. Under the direction of Dr. Harlan P. Guest, members of the Chemis- try Club have been active during the past year in collecting pam- phlets dealing with the subject oi chemistry in order to complete their ever-increasing library lo- cated in the Physical Science Office. If you have inspected the many fine chemical exhibits in the library during the year, you have noted that these informative dis- plays have been the result of the efforts of the Chemistry Club, un- der the careful planning of Howard Tanner, chairman of the library committee, and Bernice Pitzele and Jacob Bleadon. Another group that deserves credit is the Spring Carnival Com- mittee of which William Henning was chairman, with Howard Tan- ner, Vincent Frabrizio, Elliot Schu- bert assisting. These accomplish- ments plus other aims of the club, such as visits to industrial chem- ical plants in Chicago, hove served to enliven the program. FIRST ROW: Mr. H. P.

The Reds and the Blacks hove been fighting steadily at Wilson for t he past several semesters, and Mr. Lawrence Olson, sponsor of the Chess Club, keeps adding more fuel to the already brightly burning fire. Through constant dissemination of propaganda, Mr. Olson now has a trained staff of technical experts, able to outwit any Axis general on the chess board. This organization of chess en- thusiasts meets two hours every week with the purpose of promot- ing greater interest in the game of chess. Tea is an important dis- traction shared by all the club members; however, the Round Robins are still the form of combat that are enjoyed most by the members. The club ' s twenty-one active members of the spring semester took part in the Chamber of Hor- rors show at Wilson ' s Spring Car- nival, which was a huge success. Bob Lyden acted as club chairman and council representative; Sylvia Scoiza served as vice-chairman; while Kathleen Hillary served as secretory-treasurer. r mi « ft As the co-ordinating body for all Wilson organizations, the Club Board, sponsored by Miss Claire O ' Reilly, is comprised of one dele- gate from each club, usually a club officer. The Club Board is able to regulate the activities of the clubs as it has the final deci- sion in issuing charters to clubs. The Board also has charge of the club bulletin board. The tremendous success of Wil- son ' s 1941 Spring Carnival, held on the night of March 21 was due, in no small part, to the splendid work of the Club Board, who spon- sored the affair with the coopera- tion of other organizations. For the evening the college took on all the excitement and festivity of a real carnival. For the spring semester of 1941, the officers of the Club Board were Harold Furda, chairman; Bob Lyden, assistant chairman; Muriel Springer, secretary-treasurer; and Edward Kwasnieski, publicity chairman. Delegates to the Stu- dent Senate included Sara Aron- berg, Harold Furda, and George Wassack. (?af2fie a GluU Wilson ' s A Cappella Choir was organized by Esther Goetz Gilli- land, the present sponsor, at the same time that Wilson College opened its doors in 1934. The choir renders musical selections for all school programs and assemblies, giving special performances for Christmas and an annual spring festival. The music festival. May Melo- dies o J 94 1, was presented on the night of May 16, featuring a pro- gram of American music. The choir sang compositions of Amer- ican composers — religious, secu- lar, folk songs, and light opera. Another successful affair of the choir of sevonty-five members was their brilliant performance for the American Association of Junior Colleges at its opening meeting at the S tevens Hotel on February 27. Students who led their voice groups were Venitia Alexander, first soprano; Lydia Paulikat, first alto; Genevieve Sauris, second alto; Lorraine Marks, first tenor; Mary Jo Brummel, second tenor; Marius Gallager, Robert Carlson, baritone; and Marvin Barr, bass.

In existence for three semesters at Wilson now, the Coed Swim Club has sponsored and partici- pated in a variety of water shows and exhibitions, such as the W.A.A. Play Day, the Wilson Car- nival, and the Lindblom Water Carnival. Miss Estelle Angler is the able sponsor under whose guidance members of the club learn new fancy dives, strokes, and ballet formations in water. Miss Angler, who is on expert on good form and rhythm, also joins the students in their performances of new stunts and strokes. Under the former system of stu- dent leadership of last fall, the co- presidents were Rita Barry and Fred Goodman. After the adop- tion of a club constitution in Feb- ruary, 1941, the club officers in- cluded Sam McDowell as presi- dent, Rosemary Crandell as vice- president, and Marge Mangen as the Club Board representative.

Gae44A VcUUcuntl Say it in French, and keep it an all-French atmosphere. That is the general idea of the meetings of Lts Coewi VaiJIants, sponsored by Mile. Jennie Shipman and Mile. Dorothy Roberts. Here it is that members put away their English and gather to chat informally with one another in French. To top it off, charming French teas and dejeuners lure the French students to enjoyable afternoons at Wilson. One of the interesting achievements of Les Coeur Vail- lants has been its semesterly pub- lication of Le Tri-College magazine in conjunction with the other two city junior colleges. French enthusiasts are led by their president, Anne Condon; vice-president, Edward McMullen; secretary, Helen Johns; treasurer, Philip Cotsones; and program chairman, Lyda Wexler. The French cabinet for last semester included president, Sara Aron- berg; vice-president, Hans Nord; secretary, Mary Kamberos; and treasurer, Anne Condon.

The Criminal Court was the ex- citing scene of the first of the many off-campus tours sponsored by Wilson ' s Commerce Club this year. Under the guidance of Mr. George Comery, sponsor, and the able leadership of Elliott Gordon, president, the club was able to make numerous trips covering our metropolitan campus — the city of Chicago. Ably assisted by Barbara Han- ley as vice-president, the president was able to further the aims of the organization — to provide various opportunities for the students to discuss and to be enlightened about the problems and practices of business in the business world at present. Grace Goodman, acting as sec- retary, kept the minutes of the meetings of the Commerce Club. Ken Knudsen, Larry Doyle, and Sam Mesirow comprised the com- mittee which planned the tours and meetings. The organization has hailed 1941 as a banner year for themselves because, they assert, all their aims have been fulfilled. ine Anil Sponsored by Mr. William Mad- den, the Fine Arts Club aims to encourage students in further ap- preciating the arts. At the club meetings members discussed the various problems that were en- countered by present-day artists like Picasso. During the semester, several trips were made by the group to the Art Institute to view the masterpieces of Goya and other great artists. The artistic creations of the stu- dents were exhibited at affairs, such as at Wilson ' s Spring Carni- val this semester. Those students who are in Mr. Madden ' s art classes and who wish to spend more time with the Fine Arts invite other artists-to-be with similar in- terests to gain a still further appre- ciation of the arts. The club officers for the fall se- mester of 1941 were George Stef- fanopoulos as president, Gilbert Wallace as vice-president, and Shirley Koenig as secretary. The spring semester leaders were George Steffenopoulos, president; Bill Erickson, vice-president; Betty Ort, secretary; and Norah LaVelle, treasurer.

Lfen 4funt Should you happen to pass Room lllA and hear German singing, don ' t be alarmed. It is merely the festivities of the Ger- man Qub. This group, under the sponsorship of Mr. Alfred Thomas, meets once every week in order to learn to use the German lan- guage in speaking and singing. Social affairs are featured on the prog ram of the German Club. Every year a gala Kaffeeklatsch is held. There are entertainment and group singing, and of course, al- ways refreshments. Another an- nual feature is the French-German tea dance. Any one interested in learning more German is invited to attend meetings. Officers for the fall semester in- cluded Anne Heitz, president; Mel- V i n Lundgren, vice - president; Eunice Lang, secretary; and Wal- ter Erikson, treasurer. The officers for the spring semester were Rob- ert Hughes, president; Edward Turner, vice-president; Margaret Dates, secretary; and Ellastean Montgomery, treasurer.

On the timely magic ccrrpet of 1941, members of the Humanities Club travel back through the ages by way of the Art and Oriental Institutes. Under the guidance of Miss Dorothy Weil and Miss Lucile Gafford, the club sponsors, these culturally-minded students aim to promote a deeper interest in art, literature, and philosophy. In order to bring some of the his- torical scenes back to Wilson for other students, a special commit- tee, headed by Muriel Springer, maintains a colorful art exhibit on the bulletin board just outside. the Humanities room, 2 ISA. Each week takes the onlooker back to some Roman, Greek, Egyptian, or Babylonian surroundings. The Humanities Club officers for spring, 1941, included Gilbert Wal- lace as president, Phyllis Wendell as vice-president, James Retzky as secretary, and Bob Hochstadter as treasurer. During the fall of 1940, Albert Nichols served as president, Sylva Dushkes as vice-president, Sara Aronberg as secretary, and Gilbert Wallace as treasurer.

Always among the active groups at Wilson is the Interna- tional Relations Qub, sponsored by Mr. C. W. Peterson. During the fall semester of 1940 Warren Han- son acted as president; Sam Mara- gos, vice-president; and Margaret Selders, secretary-treasurer. For the spring semester Sam Maragos was elected president; Myron Rush, vice-president; and Marga- ret Selders, secretary-treasurer. War-torn Europe has been a leading controversial topic of the organization, providing members with a basis for zealous discus- sions and debates. In an effort to clarify the issues involved, the International Relations Qub, to- gether with the Social Science Club, invited Dr. Walter Laves, frequently heard on the University of Chicago Kound. Table, to speak on the relation of the United States to the present World War. Among other accomplishments during the past semesters, the club has participated in a heated de bate with the social science stu- dents of the Chicago Teachers ' College. Members of International Relations Club have also taken an active part in student and faculty round table discussions. Serving as a center for social functions among the taller girls of Wilson, the Higher-Ups include lectures, plays, and concerts in their yearly program. Require- ments for membership in the club are that girls must measure at least five feet, eight inches in height and must have a desire to participate in club activities. Although Miss Helen Hubbard, the sponsor, does not meet the minimum height requirement, her able leadership more than suffices. A new step forward for the Higher- Ups has been the adoption of a club pin which has become the prized possession of each member. Leading the other girls of the or- ganization, not in height but in guidance, are Donna Frasemer, the club president; Marilyn Wer- n e r, vice-president; Rosemary Clous, secretary; Alyce Graham, treasurer; and Myrtle Connell, Club Board representative.

Under the sponsorship of Mr. Fred- erick Hess, the members of the club have taken trips to leading neighborhood and downtown stores. Through careful planning enter- tainment as well as serious discus- sions were included in the club ' s program. Presidents for fall and spring terms were Donald Menser and Thomas Jarasek respectively. Vice-presidents cmd program chairmen were Doris Bond and Richard Lawton; financial respon- sibilities were the concern of Her- bert Dotterer and Ray Petrauskas. Much of the written material for the club was done by secretaries Anamary Kirchhoff and Josephine Madix. Lectures, socials, and movies kept the members quite busy. A highly successful fashion show was presented in the Spring Car- nival. The club plans to assemble a merchandising museum, with the aid of the students and the school.

Brazda. This group of service students is carefully selected upon the recom- mendations of members of the fac- ulty, on the basis of commendable character, scholastic achievement, and participation in extra-curricu- lar activities. Students ore chosen from all classes except the first semester class. The duties of the Junior Staff members range from ushering at all school occasions, such as on commencement night, opera or concert night, and theater night, to handling the student elections, representing Wilson on visitation days, and assisting during Orien- tation Week at the beginning of the term. Chairman of the Junior Staff for the past two semesters has been James Ginty, and ably assisting him as co-chairman is Albert Pask, who succeeded Ralph Gould, co- chairman during the fall semester. J Every Wilson man who has earned a college letter in some sport is eligible for membership in the Lettermen ' s Club. Coach Wal- ter Smith, the sponsor for the spring term of 1941, leads the group whose chief aims are to promote athletics, to arouse more school spirit among the students, and to manage intra-mural tournaments. The Brawn Boys of the Letter- men ' s Club have been under the able leadership of Oliver Rondel, who has acted as president during the spring semester. Louis Man- kus served as vice-president of the club; Paul Podmajersky as secre- tary, Jim McClowry as sergeant- crt-arms while Conrad Kubina served as Club Board representa- tive. Every year the Lettermen ' s Club holds a banquet at which a cup is presented to the athlete who best combines sportsmanship and scholarship. The last athlete so honored was Hilding Olander, who was presented with the cup at the recent Lettermen ' s banquet.

The Literary Qub is organized for students who wish to meet with those persons interested in litera- ture and continue discussions of the type held in classes. During the spring semester the club was very fortunate to hear Mrs. Olive Lindsay Wakefield, sister of Va- chel Lindsay, read her brother ' s poetic works. At other meetings Mr. E. N. Lockard read the short stories of Saki (H. H. Munro), and Mr. Charles Baker commented on records from ]u {us Caesar and Hamlet. Other activities were a theatre party to see Twelfth Hight, a tour through a radio studio, and a social at which records of Gilbert and Sullivan ' s lolanthe were played. During the fall semester Mr. Mar- vin Laser informed the members How to Read a Novel. Later, a theatre party to see The Male Ani- mal was held, and a tour was con- ducted through the University of Chicago Press. Officers were Robert Cole, presi- dent; Sylva May Dushkes, secre- tary; Mary McCaffrey, publicity chairman; and Vivienne Swan- berg, Club Board delegate. 77 .n, r, f V-t ' i: % X rt FIRST ROW: Mary McNamara, secretary-treasurer Mollie Bossen, Morton Zeman, vice-president; Luise Lange, sponsor; Earl Clendenon, president Bertha Specht, Victoria Firovich, Raymonc Ostrow.

Afudlc Meeting every two weeks, the Mathematics Club provides an op- portunity for students interested in this subject to become better ac- quainted with it and with each other. The Math Club is one of the oldest organizations in the school, tracing its origin as far back as the old Crane College. At its regular meetings, students, fac- ulty members, and outside speak- ers lead discussions on topics of pure or applied mathematics. Some of the topics discussed were The Story of the Abacus, All About the Fourth Dimension, The Prob- lems of Map Ma ing, The Relativ- ity of Time and Space, and Permu- tations and Combinations. A few of the leaders were Dr. Luise Lange, Dr. Jerome Sachs, Dr. Jacob Kinney, and Dr. Bernard Friedman; and students Morton Zeman, Cyril Cohen, Mary McNamara, and John Snyder. The officers of the club during the fall semester were Ann Cum- mings, president; Mary McNama- ra, vice-president; and Annellyn Day, secretary-treasurer. The spring officers included Earl Clen- denon, president; Morton Zeman, vice-president; and Mary McNa- mara, secretary-treasurer. Dr. Lange has been the able sponsor of the Math Club. The Music Club, under the direc- tion of Esther Goetz Gilliland, is organized principally to foster mu- sical talent among Wilson stu- dents. Students need not be en- rolled in any music class to belong to the club which meets every two weeks when it presents programs featuring student talent. One of the most interesting pro- grams featured Mary Jo Brummel singing three lyrics of A. E. Hous- man set to music by Dr. John Raines of the English department. Other Wilson artists who often participate in the programs are Harry Zerebniak, Marvin Barr, Oland Gaston, Esther Bernstein, Charles Peterson, Harriet O ' Rourke, and Lorraine Marks. The Music Club also cooperated with the other groups in making the Spring Carnival and the Spring Festival successful affairs. The officers during the fall se- mester were Harry Zerebniak, president; Harriet O ' Rourke, vice- president; Mary Jo Brummel, sec- retary; and Marvin Barr, treasurer. President for the spring semester was Lydia Paulikat; vice-presi- dent, Marius Gallagher; secretary, Lorraine Marks; and treasurer, Harry Zerebniak. 78 FIRST ROW: Marianne Daley, Eleanor Nesby, Irene Riggs, Rita Moore, Emmy Domazel, Muriel Landers, Lorraine Marks, secretary.

This year the Wilson Orchestra has grown into an organization of full symphonic proportions. From a very modest beginning, it has developed, under the direction of Mr. Henry Sopkin, into a musical group of which Wilson may well be proud. The orchestra provides valuable experience for the professionally- minded musicians, provides a mu- sical background for those mem- bers who have no such ambition, and offers cultural entertainment to the student body. The ninety members of the or- chestra participate in college as- semblies, such as Wilson ' s annual Spring Festival. Mr. Sopkin does not confine his selection of music to the well-known works of stand- ard composers, but is always in search of new compositions. Works by contemporary compos- ers, such as Stravinsky, Howard Hanson, Menotti Salta, Roy Harris, and many others, find a prominent place in the repertoire of the or- chestra, along with works of such composers as Tschaikowsky, Strauss, and Grieg. The orchestra has proven itself to be a versatile group of musicians. PIS The Parent-Teacher-Student As- sociation is an organization which attempts to interpret the college to the community and to promote the interests of youth in college. The program theme for 1941 was Pre- paring Youth for Civic Responsi- bility through Home and School. Through its program the P.T.S. has tried to accomplish three things: to foster good will, to pro- mote the interests of the students through a parent education group, and to secure a new building on our campus for Wilson students. The parent education group was organized to give parents of pros- pective students a preview of col- lege life. By informing more peo- ple about Wilson, the P.T.S. hopes to arouse interest in securing a new building. Finally, in accom- plishing these two aims, good will is naturally promoted. The P.T.S. was capably led by by its officers: Mrs. Mollis Munce, president; Mrs. Claude Coombs, first vice-president and program chairman; Miss Claire O ' Reilly, second vice-president; Mrs. Har- vey Miller, recording secretary; Mrs. George Gordon, correspond- ing secretary; and Mrs. Arthur Rausher, treasurer. FIRST ROW: Miss Beulah Berolzheimer; Mrs. Hollis H. Munce, president; Mrs. Fred Loftus; Mrs. Claude Coombes, first vice-president; Mrs. B. H. Fish, publicity; Mrs. A. Rausher, treasurer; Claire M. O ' Reilly, second vice-president; Mrs. Geo. F. Gordon, corresponding secretary. FIRST ROW: Warren Klopsch, Elliott Schubert, John M.

PUif lical SoieH ie The purpose of the Physical Sci- ence Club is to create a deeper interest in science among all the students at Wilson. The practical application of science in industry is studied, as well as the pure theory of science. Throughout the term various field trips are taken which show very concretely how science is put to use in practical situations, in order to give man more conveniences and make his life easier. This year the members of the club visited the Common- wealth Edison electrical plant at Pulaski and Thirty-fifth streets; the Federal Electric plant; the Standard Oil Company, and the Kellogg Switchboard Company. Officers of the Physical Science Club were Howard Tanner, presi- dent; Paden Dismore, vice-presi- dent; Walter Erikson, treasurer; and Paul Singer, secretary. Dr. Thomas Ernest is the sponsor. 1 P i -Med Have YOU ever wondered what the levator capxdo.e. centalis is? Did you ever tour the morgue? Such are the problems included among the various activities of the Pre-Medical Club, sponsored by Mr. H. C. Nelson and Mr. Samuel Howe. All students interested in a med- ical career are eligible to join this club. As a method of determining their potentialities in the field of medicine, the members were given a Medical Aptitude test this last semester. Tours, discussions, and social activities filled the program of the club. A tour was made to see the medical exhibits at the Rosenwald Museum, and a picnic was held late in May. The officers during the fall se- mester were Warren Klopsch, pres- ident; Michael Ihnchak, vice-presi- dent; Margaret Oates, secretary; Walter Erikson, treasurer; and Robert Hughes, Club Board dele- gate. During the spring semester the president and secretary re- mained the same. Irving Miller became vice-president; Harmon Fortar, treasurer; and Betty Cohen, Club Board representative.

SUj HXi lieia Pi Sigma Beta Pi, an honorary sci- ence organization, is one of the few Wilson clubs which restricts its membership. On the basis of scholastic ability, members are se- lected from students enrolled in the science laboratory courses. One must have at least a B average to be chosen to participate in the activities of the club. Dr. Jesse Schuett and Dr. James Parsons, heads of the Biological and Physical Science Departments respectively, are co-sponsors of the club. The officers are Howard Tanner, president; Michael Ihn- chak, vice-president; Jean Hart- wick, secretary; and Russell Ol- son, treasurer. Charles Churchill is Club Board delegate. The organization aims to pro- mote interest in advanced scien- tific work. As a means of accom- plishing their purpose, members of the club give short talks on spe- cialized subjects at the meetings. Movies of industry and science are also shown as often as possible. In this way other students are also encouraged to work in the field of science. r f I FmST ROW: Al Lonq, Harold Kammerer, Wilbur Eubanks, skywriter; Stan Fixter.

The tallest member of the club is the honorary Sir Mascot, Slim Keating, six feet, four and one-half inches tall. Upon achieving the eligibility mark of six feet, the members dedicate themselves to upholding the constitution, and de- voting themselves to folly, friv- olity, and nonsense. The Six-Footers engage in social and athletic activities. Bowling and basketball are the chief sports on the program. Social activities include parties, dances, and picnics. The officers for this semester were Ken Knudsen, Lord of the Stratosphere; George McMahon, Baron of the Stratosphere; and Wil- bur Eubanks, Sky-Writer. Of interest to all the school is the semi-annual election of a club sweetheart.

Social Soie4 ce The Social Scien ce Club, spon- sored by Mr. Elmer Kennedy, has enabled students majoring in the social sciences to discuss common problems. The t wo principal events last year were a joint meet- ing with the International Rela- tions Club, which drew a hundred students to hear Dr. Walter Laves of the University of Chicago speak on the present war, and the poll of Wilson students on the presiden- tial election, which resulted in a two-lo-one victory for President Roosevelt, an approximation of the actual election results. This organization does not have the conventional offices, which, it is felt, would not conform to its needs. Instead, five commissioners and a Club Board delegate are elected. In the fall semester Myron Rush presided while the other commis- sioners were Joseph Hamburger, Louis Levin, Patricia McChesney, Morton Zeman, and James Bali- noff. In the spring semester, Jo- seph Hamburger was chairman while Joseph Adler, Jack Rabin, Max Gendler, Paul Letter, Mary Kamberos, and Fern Johnson filled the other offices.

Studesii SenxUe They page the Marines for ac- tion out on the West coast, but at Wilson they call out the Student Senate. Under the guidance of Miss Claire O ' Reilly, twenty-three senators, consisting of five from each class, and three from the Club Board, hold their business meetings with George Dahlin as president; Elizabeth Johnson, vice- president; Jean Johnson, secretary; and Lawrence Doyle, treasurer. These Wilson senators, who must have a high scholastic aver- age, are elected by popular vote at the beginning of each semester. The theme of the Student Senate is to promote the general welfare of the school and to endeavor to im- prove its college life, both from a social and an academic stand- point. The fall cabinet included Sam Maragos as president; Elizabeth Johnson, vice-president; Alice Car- roll, secretary; and George Dahlin, treasurer. The Senate, among other accomplishments, has made possible the 1941 Profile, has es- tablished a successful Book Ex- change, and has undertaken the supervision of the Co-Recreational Lounge. 83 LEFT TO RIGHT: Lo Dorothy Rob Velma Bernard, secretary.

Timi, Wilson ' s honor society, is open to all those graduating stu- dents with a scholastic average of B or better. Charles Salzman was elected president and Jennie Banfield, secretary during the spring semester of 1941. The ac- tivities of the organization included investigating scholarship possibil- ities for Wilson honor students and seeking an affiliation with a na- tional honor society. Timi members of the spring se- mester included Sara Aronberg, Henry Baillie, James Baldasseroni, Athena Bithos, Earl Clendenon, Herbert Dotterer, Sylva Dushkes, Eva Emery, John Ettema, Bernard Farber, John Foley, Norma Geffin, James Ginty, Charles Grenko, Jo- seph Hamburger, Jean Harris, Michael Ihnchak, Patrick Israel, Charles Johnson, Thomas King, Warren Klopsch, Samuel Mara- gos, John Marshall, Lincoln Met- calf, WiUard Meyer, and Henry Meyers.

All dances used by the club are ar- ranged by the members them- selves. This semester the Tap ' N ' Time Club has confined itself strictly to tap dancing, as it was preferred b the majority of the members. In past semesters, however, the club has widened the scope of its ac- tivities to include other types oi dancing, such as square dancing and social dancing. Members of the club are always ready to per- form at various social functions sponsored by other organizations. Everyone is eligible to join the club: men and women, beginners and advanced dancers. Officers of the organization were Mary Lou Haferbecker, president; Dorothy Robinson, vice-president; Velma Bernard, secretary; Miriam Rosenbloom, treasurer; Sara Aron- berg, publicity chairman; Char- lotte Sarett, social chairman; and Anita Simon and Lessie Miles, membership committee.

IfWCA Sponsored by Dr. Lucile Gafford, Wilson ' s YWCA has taken all of Chicago as the scene for its activities. This organization at- tempts to give each girl an oppor- tunity to express her ideas and to discover her particular abilities through experience in cooperation and leadership. The scope of ac- tivities is limited only by the inter- ests of the members. Social work has on important place in the Y . During the spring semester the girls assisted at the University of Chicago Settlement Library. Each semester a party is given for dependent children in a Home. Other activities include discussion meetings on such perti- nent subjects as the role of the student in our war-torn world, per- sonal relations, vocational oppor- tunities, and vacation possibilities. Add to this socials, teas, musi- cales, tours, and a week-end at the Y lodge, and you have the program of a busy Y girl.

Shouts of laughter . . . young voices . . . sweet music . . . and singing were echoing along the halls of Wilson on April Fool ' s Day. All this merely demonstrated that Wilson ' s women students were enjoying merry pranks at the April Fool ' s Day Party. Sponsored by the Women ' s League of Wilson, the festival was one of the bright events on the activity calendar. Reorganized in the spring ses- sion of 19 4 1, the WLW was formed to promote better under- standing and unity among the women students through the devel- opment of a closer social relation- ship. Freshmen coeds are partic- ularly benefited by the WLW, for here they become acquainted with school leaders, and learn of activi- ties which are planned for all Wil- son women. Correspondence with other women ' s leagues all over the country lends a cosmopolitan at- mosphere to the club. Chairman for the spring semester was Rose- mary Claus; Margaret Shiu was secretary. J Don Wangerow Editor-in-Chief Emily Sodini Associate Editor ... So here it is: After going through all the trials and tribulations of a Horatio Alger story, the Wilson Col- lege Profile ends another year. The story is much the same as all big city success stories. Everybody wanted a Profile, but nobody wanted to do the work when George Dahlin, of the Student Senate, started a one- man lobby for an annual. Don Wangerow, former editor of the Press, and a leading literary light at Wilson, agreed to edit the yearbook. Mr. Marvin Laser was persuaded to act as faculty adviser for the whole works: business, editorial, and advertising. As in former years the Press graciously donated a 2x4 corner of their office for our filing cabinet. By now 1 can say our, because the staff had been chosen and work was started. Wangerow picked as his assistant editor, Emily Sodini. Stanley Fixter was put in charge of advertising, and Delmar Norton was made business manager. The rest is the age old story of hard work, perseverance, and cooperation. ... So here it is . . . The Wilson College Profile. Saia Aionberg Clubs Joe CuUinane A vote of thanks to . . . . . . George Dahlin, of the StudenI Senate, and Mr. Marvin Laser, of the English Department. It was Dahlin who first pushed the plan for a ' 41 annual at Wilson. His untiring ef- forts gave the movement the impetus needed to carry the whole idea through to its completion. Mr. Laser kindly accepted the posi- tion of faculty adviser, and his aid was invaluable. The job, which re- quired many extra hours of hard work, and plenty of extra worry is a thankless one. But here and now we wish to show our gratitude.

Wilson Press Finishes Great Season Back in September, 1940, a Wilson College Press was ready for the students during the first week of school. Carry- ing on with the tradition set up by many previous staffs, this staff gave its all to making the paper a real school leader. Headed by Don Wangerow, the Press had a very successful semester, and in January, 1941, all eyes were turned toward the future, to a new year and a new Press. A streamlined Press, was the cry when in February, 1941, Leslie E. Waller took over the duties of editor-in-chief of the paper. Waller began his reform activities by inaugurating a new edi- torial board with several new positions, omitting some of the old ones. Then, at an editorial conference, a new format was chosen, giving Wilson a paper of five pages — an oddity in itself. The most sensational addition to the paper was the new picture page. Sched- uled to run regularly on page five, it has been managed by Milt Kandl. The first page was transformed into a bulle- tin page, with Al Glass editing. The inside pages were given over to edito- rials, sports, news, and clubs. Handling these pages were Joe Cullinane, Charles Peterson, Mary McCaffery, Francis X. Lopez, and Joan Kelley. The new paper, strictly cosmopolitan in composition and management, soon made a definite hit with the students. Even as the Wilsonites might dash to get the latest issue of the Daily T ews, so do they dash for the Press every Wednesday. The Press gives Wilson the news and editorials that Wilson wants, in characteristic Wilson fashion. There ' s no denying that the Press is an integral part of the metropolis of Wilson. The Press has taken its place in the lives of Wilson, and the lives of Wilson have taken their places on the pages of the Press. 92 Don Wangeiow Editor-in-Chief ' 40 Leslie E. WaUer Edilor-in-Chief ' 41 Fourteen staffs have come and gone; the style of the paper has changed constantly, but one thing remains unchanged. Miss Helena Gavin has been sponsor of the Press since its inception.

Seven years ago, The Chicago Board of Education recommended that a junior col- lege be established in order .nat Chicago ' s many serious-minded young men and f women who wished to continue their edu- cation might do so. The chief purpose was to offer a well-organized program of gen- eral education. Some of the objectives indi- cated were to enhance social intelligence, to broaden the students ' cultural outlook on I life, and to prepare them to meet the respon- sibilities of life, through the knowledge of themselves primarily, and of the world and their relation to it. The survey courses offered in the junior college are the mechanics by which the purposes are fulfilled. A study of man from prehistoric ages to the present, covering religion, literature, the arts, philosophy, and science in the Humanities survey course tends to give a cultural background to the students. The development of modern in- stitutions, government, society, economics and family life are presented in the Social Science survey course. The Physical Sci- ence survey course cttempts to demonstrate the relation of mathematics, geology, phys- ics, and chemistry to the universe. The Biological Science survey course offers a general knowl- edge of the human body and the plant kingdom. All survey courses follow the same general plan: lectures by scholars proficient in their special fields of knowledge, and weekly discussions. Syllabi offer basic outlines of the material, supplemented by textbooks. Study sheets and periodic quizzes further aid the student. In addition, the college Study hard offers a considerable number of vocational courses which prepare the students who are interested in business. Excellent training is given in retail selling, merchandising, sten- ography, bookkeeping, accounting, and fly- ing in the recently added aviation course. Special emphasis, of course, is placed upon study and with the aid of an excep- tionally well-equipped and well-adminis- tered library, the process is comparatively easy. More than fifty-five thousand vol- umes enable the students to study any sub- ject, old or new, in all of its aspects. One of the pronounced aims of the staff is to keep the library up-to-date. It possesses a cur- rent periodicals section and magazines, newspapers, pamphlets and other publica- tions from all parts of the world are received daily. In addition to this, the library com- prises a considerable collection of art works and reference material. The major objective of the college and its administration is to prepare and to send into the world men and women who hove be- c ome more intelligent and better educated and who will help to create a better world for themselves and for those who will follow. An excellent faculty, good equipment, ambi- tion, earnestness, and the will to learn are in existence in the junior college today. Undoubtedly, with the group of serious- minded young men and women who seek a liberal education, the ends for which we strive are not hard to accomplish. vote too We think of our voting here at Wilson as not mere- ly a chummy little popu- larity contest, but as a valu- able training ground f o r future good-citizenship. There is little chance for rotten boroughs. Students are required to present ac- tivity cards before they vote, a strict guard is kept over our voting booths to forestall any possible disputes, and a special crew of election judges carefully checks the J ballots. , L The Senior Class this year Bk was sharply divided in their choice for president. Op- posed for the office of president of the Sophomore A Class were Lenny Rifas, guard on the basketball team, and Don Wangerow, ex-editor of the Press. After a short but hectic campaign waged energe- tically by both candidates, Rifas emerged victorious in the thrilling run-off election by the margin of a single vote. Lovely, vivacious Jean Hartwick was elected vice- president; petite, capable Sara Aronberg was chosen for class secretary; and red-headed Irwin Hirsch became the class treasurer. Officers of the Sophomore B class were Phyllis Wendell, Mildred Cohen, and Margaret Shiu. This year ' s conscientious officers have succeeded in making Wilson Col- lege more worthwhile scholastically and socially. The students and faculty were well pleased with the outcome of the elections; even more so as weeks went on. Class problems that arose were skillfully and tactfully handled, and the unusually successful social events were carefully planned. Our class officers, you see, take the elections in the same civic spirit as do our voters. And put on plays like ' ' Escape ' Place: Dartmoor in a fog. Tune: Early even- ing, a year later. Characters: Fred Vinroot as convict, Matt Denant and Morris Schwartz as a fellow convict. Situation: Matt has been con- victed for the death of the detective. We find him in prison digging for potatoes with a fellow convict. This same convict is helping Matt with a plan of escape. In a few moments Matt will ascend the prison wall and his perilous escape will begin. Place: Parlor in a cottage of gentility. Time: Three hours later. Characters: Anamary Kirch- hoff as Miss Dora, the younger sister; Genevieve Sauris as Miss Grace, the elder; Alex Phillips as the farmer. Situation: Matt has been ap- prehended by a farmer and has escaped from him to this parlor. Miss Dora has just hidden Matt when the farmer enters in pursuit of him. The sisters deny having seen him and Matt is still safe. Place: Hyde Park in London. Time: Night. Characters: Lucille Rothblum as a girl of the town and Fred Vinroot as Captain Matt Denant. Situation: Captain Denant has just returned from a day at the races. The girl has requested a light for her cigarette. They are discussing life from their individual viewpoints. When Matt leaves a detective will attempt to arrest the girl for approaching him. In a scuffle Matt will accidentally murder the detective. Place: A bedroom in an Inn. Time: Morning, forty-three hours later. Characters: Barbara Blanchflower as the lady at the inn. Situation: So far the escape is successful. Matt has spent the night under the bed in the lady ' s room. He has fallen asleep and is about to be discovered. Matt will persuade the lady to aid him in his escape. She will provide him with old clothes which hide his prison uniform. Place: Vestry of a Village church. Time: An hour later. Main characters: Bernard Mamet, as the parson; Alex Phillips, the farmer; Fred Vinroot, the convict. Situation: We now find Matt in the vestry of a village church. The farmer and his helpers hove traced him there. The parson has concealed him behind some cassocks. The former demands the parson ' s word as a Christian gentleman that he has not seen Matt. At this Matt surrenders himself and the play ends. But occasionally. . . It has been wisely said that all work and no play makes jack . . . but here at Wilson we employ a somewhat less grim philosophy. And we find that there are quite a number of relaxa- tion centers right in the immediate vicinity of the school. We can bring our rackets and make like Budge and Marble on our back yard tennis courts; we can organize impromptu Softball gomes at Hamilton Park; we can dance or play 1 ping-pong in the gym; and we can cool off from all these with an in- vigorating plunge into the pool. We find quite a bit of relaxation in Fouquette ' s, or Werkman ' s sitting for hours and dawdling over a stale coke, while we discuss everything from the international situation to Terry and Pirates. For just an extra nickel we can hearken to a sooth- ing juke box lullaby. Drug- store booths are favored rendezvous for conversa- tion, cokes and card games; many an ad-libbed U. of C. Round Table takes place in t h e lunchroom and, in warmer weather, on the window-sills then converted into temporary restaurants. The Co-Recreational Lounge, completely outfitted with armchairs, davenports, knitters, chaise lounges, gossipers, and footstools, is always well filled with re- laxists. Drowsier souls here are occasionally slightly over-relaxed — and usually with wide-open throttles. We like to relax Some of us go in for rather odd forms of amusement. You can see us cavorting about in fantastic Spring Carnival costumes; en- thusiastically playing a fast game of palm tennis across two sidewalk square; engaging in a hectic round of waste-basket ball with a paper wad; or gathering in little groups playing bunco on the street corners. The girls seem to take keen enjoyment in passing around slam books and filling in anonymous little comments about their friends. But most of us really don ' t hove to seek the un- usual to find relaxation here at Wilson. The frag- rant scent and satisfied gurgle of a convival long- stemmed pipe is enough for our more collegiate students, while others are quite content with sitting under a tree and chat- ting, leaning out the school window and watching the Packards float by, or merely strol- ling casually around the campus. But whatever our pet form of relaxation may be, it ' s right here at Wil- son ready for our use. Andy of course we have Coeds i il , i .

Active membership, however, requires participation in at least one of the activities sponsored by the group. Activities follow a sports calendar which divides the school year into three sports seasons: fall, winter, and spring. Each is twelve weeks in length and includes the sports typical of that season. Some of the sports offered are table tennis, bowling, badminton, golf, swimming, archery, bicycling, fencing, volleyball, hik- ing, tennis, and softball. Each sport is under the super- vision of a student manager and is coached by one of the physical education instructors. The governing body of the WAA is the Women ' s Athletic Council, which consists of the four officers, the various sports managers, class representatives, and faculty advisers.

Horseback riding, managed by Shirley Selby, and coached by Miss Estelle Angier, takes place in Chicago ' s parks, in Cook County forest preserves, and along the Midway. Hiking, managed by Leona Wolf, and coached by Miss Ruth Berg, is participated in every week, weather permitting. The hikers have become acquainted with the city parks, the county forest preserves, and also have learned to cook in the open. These ambitious women hikers also took several overnight trips. Some of these trips were taken along with the bikers. Perhaps the most notable affair was a hike to the Promontory at 55th Street, ending with a steak fry. The bike riders, supervised by Marilyn Weiner, and coached by Miss Angier, have taken short day- trips in addition to their trips with the hikers. SEATED: Lorraine Marks, Barbara Brunjes, Lope Theodores. STANDING: Leona Wolf, manager; Alma Jachera, Miss Ruth Berg, coach; Evelyn Eylonder; Aldona Snekutis; Dean or Nesby. In spite of its early meeting hour — eight o ' clock on Friday morning — badminton, sponsored by Miss Estelle Angier, proved to be a popular game. Badminton was one of the sports on the winter sports calendar. The first part of the year found some players gaining preliminary instruction and on appreciation of the game while the more ad- vanced players practiced, improv- ing their skill. The girls then ar- ranged a series of singles and doubles tournaments and made a practical application of what they had learned. These team games were managed by Emily Weicke until she transferred to another college; then Evelyn Nordgren was appointed as her successor. A coeducational singles elimina- tion tournament, won by Elaine Radio, closed the successful sea- son of 1940. SEATED: Evelyn Nordgren, manager; Irene Churan.

AncUefi4f Wilson ' s women archers shoot on a field in Jackson Park, just off the lake front. The team practices in the gymnasium when the weather is not favorable. The archery squad enters the Intercol- legiate Telegraphic Meet every year and has always gained several honors. The team also shoots a Columbia round on the Midway with the University of Chicago team. Miss Augusta Swawite was coach, and Mary Patricia Hughes, manager, for the sport. SEATED: Patricia Huqhes, Lorraine Raqan. STANDING: Shirley Lindemen, Evelynn Eylander, Betty Kern, Margaret Selders, Virginia Sikma, Margaret Shiu. Trick serves, strategic placement of the ball at all times, and swift accurate movements are charac- teristic of table tennis as played by Wilson women. This sport always attracts a large group of participants and is played throughout the school year. Each semester singles and doubles tour- naments are held; mixed singles and doubles games are also a part of this extra-curricular activity. The tournaments were both the round robin and elimination type. The manager for the fall semes- ter was Anna Gordon; Florence Kazmiersczak was the manager for the spring semester. For the fall sports season Miss Estelle Angier was coach; during the winter sports season Miss Augusta Swawite was coach; and for the spring season Miss Ruth Berg took over coaching activities. FraST ROW: Florence Kazmierczak, Ruth Murphy, Eleanor Nesby, Bella Eisenstein. SECOND HOW: Ginnie Francis, Mildred Mergole, Norma Geffin, Joan Kelly.

During both the fall and spring semesters, they practiced every Tuesday afternoon at a nearby bowling alley. They were usually accompanied by the men bowlers of Wilson, with whom there exists a friendly rivalry. In- struction was given in both tech- niques and etiquette. From among the regular bowl- ers, teams were selected to play Chicago Teachers College, Herzl, and Wright, and an intercollegiate tournament was held. Much of the success of the bowl- ing program was due to the ex- cellent work of Barbara Brunjes, bowling manager. Miss Estelle Angler is coach of the sport. RalkeiUU Basketball, t h e international game, is known and played in many lands. Here in the United States it is the most popular sport, judging by participation and gate receipts. That most persons find it to be the most satisfying of sports is also shown by the large num- ber of Wilson women who played basketball this year. The program for each class was divided into two periods. The first of these was given over to prac- tice, with the beginners, in one part of the gym, struggling with rules and basic techniques while the experienced players, in another part of the gym, were per- fecting their skill under the expert coaching of Miss Ruth Berg. Experts and novices were even- ly divided into teams to play dur- ing the second period. Team games, managed by Ruth Fogel, were characterized by exhilarat- ing rivalry. SEATED: Eleanor Nesby, Lorraine Palmer, Lope Theodores, B. Templer, Irene Churan, lane Flinn. STANDING: Lucy Hubbard, Leona Wolf, Alfreda Ponder, Miss Ruth Berg, Ruth Fogel, manager. QoH Every Tuesday afternoon, dur ing fair weather, the W. A. A. golfers go to Jackson Park to put techniques mastered in winter season classes into actual prac- tice. The school furnishes all the necessary equipment for the girls. The golf managers were Vivi- enne Swanberg for the fall season and Catherine Manning for the spring season. Miss Augusta Swawite is the coach. FmST HOW: Eloise Luedeklng, Helenjean Kistner, Shirley Struthers. SECOND ROW: Catherii Manning, manager: Belty Ewlng, Jackie Swonson, Evelyn Zandstra. Softball classes hove enjoyed increasing popularity at Wilson. Each semester more and more girls come out to play this popular American game. Regardless of her skill as a player, each girl de- rives enjoyment from the game and feels a sense of sportsman- ship. Furthermore, the girls learn to appreciate the game more as played by others, since they un- derstand it better. Coached by Miss Estelle An- gler, the girls first learn the rules of the game, and then practice the techniques of the various posi- tions — catcher, pitcher, first-, sec- ond-, and third-baseman, short- stop, right field, left field, center field, and umpire. During the second part of the season the girls were divided into teams which played one another for class championships. Team games were managed by Donna Frasemer. Then, at the end of the season, an all-star team was chosen from the girls in all the classes. This team played in inter-collegiate competition. FIRST ROW: Aldonna Snekutis, Teresa Caruso. Irene Churran, Eleanor Nesby, Leona Wolf. Adelaine Goodman, Lope Theodores. SECOND ROW: Alma lochera, Elaine Anderson, Jane Flinn. e4iC44Uf The girls ' Fencing Club meets every Friday afternoon and is coached by Miss Estelle Angier. During the last semester the club went to see professional fencing demonstrations. They also had a guest instructor, Miss Gordy- chuck, of Lindblom High School, speak to the group. Many mem- bers believe that the past season has been the most successful one for the club. FIRST ROW: Lorraine Palmer, lane Flinn, Arthurene lohnson, Eleanor Nesby, Ann Dea.

The girls learn the tech- niques in the classes and practice in the open periods. At the close of the season an all-star team was chosen to participate in a Sports Day program. This team also is- used an invitation for a game to the Chicago Teachers College team, their friendly rivals. Miss Augusta Swawite spon- sored volleyball activities. Vivi- enne Swanberg was manager of the sport, filling the vacancy left when Lope Theodores became an officer of the Women ' s Athletic Association. LEFT TO RIGHT: Lorraine Palmer, Lucy Hubbard, Mildred Turnquist, Margaret Wurstbaugh, Gloria Seismore, Alfredo Pander. The swimming season opened this year with a very successful splash party, which featured races and games. Then, with Miss Estelle Angier as coach, the girls began their work on certain re- quired tests equivalent to the American Red Cross Intermediate Swimmer ' s Test. Upon the satis- factory completion of these tests, the girls were awarded a special blue suit. To interest other girls in swim- ming and to allow more practice time for members of the swimming classes, an open hour was offered every Monday afternoon. There was an enthusiastic response to this plan. Many swimmers took advantage of this period; some used it for relaxation and enjoy- ment, while others trained for par- ticipation in the annual spring Intercollegiate Telegraphic Swim- ming meet. Fall semester swim- ming was managed by Elaine Canfield. Mary Ann Morris was the spring semester swimming manager. SEATED: ROW: Ml f I ' linn.

Archery is one of the favorite coeduca- tional sports. Each semester the archery squad looks forward to an invita- tion from the University of Chi- cago. They participate in a Columbia Round at Dudley Field, and usually give a good account of themselves. In favorable weather the arch- ers practice at Jackson Park.

Social dancing, a coeduca- tional class instructed by Miss Augusta Swawite, ranks very high in popularity with Wilson stud- ents. Beginners in this class are gradually and skillfully led into the art by developing a sense of rhythm and balance. Basic steps are then learned. Correct ballroom technique is stressed as an im- portant feature of the class. For those who are more advanced, practice periods are held in which new steps and dances are taught. By the end of the semester, how- ever, it is difficult to recognize who were the novices among the dancers. Poise and skill are evident among the dancers at Wilson so- cials, as a result of students ' participation in the social danc- ing class.

When all the courts are in use the students go over to Hamilton Park courts to play. The tennis manager and her assistants were out on the courts on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from three o ' clock to five o ' clock, and gave instruction to any one de- siring it. Elimination and round robin tournaments are held every se- mester. Last semester Betty Graf was the winner of the elimination tournament. She was awarded a gold cup at the W. A. A. banquet held at the close of the semester. The fall tennis manager was Elaine Anderson; the spring man- ager was Loretta Hirsch. Miss Ruth Berg is the coach for tennis. SEATED: Lop© Theodores. STANDING: Leona Wolf, Glecena May, Elaine Anderson. The only award that is given by the Women ' s Athletic Associa- tion is a gold monogram pin. To qualify for this pin a girl must be an active member of the Women ' s Athletic Association and she must meet the college requirements for extra-curricular activities; she must participate in three or more of the organizations activities; she must show ability and also show technical knowledge of the sports in which she has participated; she must show good sportsman- ship; she must give service to and show an interest in the Women ' s Athletic Association. Recommen- dations are also given as recog- nition of the following: officer of the association, manager of a sport, or one who has given an outstanding contribution to the association. The council has decided to recognize academic honor along with athletic proficiency by pro- viding a plaque on which the names of the girls who receive the pin award twice and are elected to Timi Honor Society will be in- scribed. i Pictured on this paqe are a number of trophies. These trophies symbolize an outstandinq achievement of Wilson athletes — an achievement seldom equalled here or anywhere — a championship in every sport. We at Wilson are indeed proud of our athletes, net only for what they accomplished, but for the way they accomplished it. This all- championship goal was made possible only by dint of untiring effort, personal sacrifice, fight, and loyalty to a man on the pari of the fellas and a wonderful coaching staff. The season of 1940-41 will always be remembered as greatest of all in Wilson sports annals, for in no other year have the Raiders so completely dominated championships. All Wilson joins in to salute these Scarlet and White clad warriors who won their laurels on the field of competitive play and helped send Wilson, school of champions, skyrocketing to athletic heights. Dovm through the years Wilson has been a tower of strength in the conference. But never before 1941, a new era in Wilson athletic history, have the Raiders been crov med champions in every sport. What a feat! Track champions have long been a byword at Wilson. Ever since track was inaugurated here some six years back, the Raiders have worn the crown that symbolizes championship, an unbeatable record established by an unbeatable team. Wilson has turned out its share of gridiron greats, tool For two straight years the Scarlet and White clad gridders have reigned as conference titlists, having been undefeated in last year ' s march to the heights. In baseball the same set-up exists. The Raiders diamondeers have worn the conference laurel wreath since 1939, besides defeating several high-calibre nines representing four year colleges in the mid-western area. Basketball fortunes rose in 1941, as the Raiders copped the con- ference crown in addition to finishing as runners-up in the annual state tourney. The Scarlet swimmers continued the clean sweep when they emerged victorious in the big state meet by dethroning Wright, defending champs and perennial rivals, by a lopsided score. In the followi ng pages of this sports section are contained more vivid details of Wilson ' s rise to the very top in the field of athletic endeavor. P FIRST ROW.

In compiling this great record the Raiders won seven games while tying three. Leading this year ' s well balanced team were such star linemen as George Meyrick, Lou Mankus, John Dixon, and Sid Fisher. In the backfield, this year ' s Raider team was three deep in every position with such standouts as Paul Podmajersky, Capt. Bob Tabbert, Dick Lindstrom, Eugene Long, Bob Hull, Jim McClowry, and finally, Wilson ' s leading scorer and star left half back, Monroe Hudson. Next year ' s prospects, even though many star players are graduating, seem very bright, and so Wilson fans can look forward next year to another standout team and most likely a team that will bring Wilson its third confer- ence football championship in a row. Following a practice that originated fhree years ago, the Raiders selected their most valuable player at the campaign ' s conclusion. This yecrr the honor was bestowed upon Sid Fisher, guard, whose offensive drive, line-backing tenacity, and the ability to perform capably in the tough spots, such as punt- ing and calling signals on occasion, made him well worthy of the award. Fisher thus had his name inscribed on the most valuable player trophy presented to Wilson by the Kiwonis Club of Englewood. Other outstanding individual honors came to John Dixon, Sid Fisher, George Meyrick, and Paul Podmajersky, all of whom were elected to the all-conference eleven in a poll conducted by coaches and sports writers in the conference.

[, Mandel Berger, James Griffin, 1 ' liaikeiUU Conference champions and runners-up in the state tournament! That was the success story of the 1940-41 edition of Raider cagers, who brought Wilson its first basketball title. The great Wilson machine swept 15 straight games in an unstoppable march to the city title. Facing Joliet in a dramatic play-off series, Wilson finally went down for the first time in 17 games, but bounced back to win the de- ciding game — and the title. Next came the state tourney, most colorful event of the hardwood season. Wilson reached the finals, then tottered before a mighty Joliet attack. Wilson and Coach Francis Svarc attributed much of their success to Captain Warren Duncker, whose remarkable drive and scoring technique proved a signal factor in the title chase, and Bob Kulvin, set shot specialist. Well-deserved honors were bestowed upon Sherman and Blackburn, both of whom were elected to the all-conference team in a poll sponsored by a morning newspaper.

Coach Walter Smith ' s Scarlet and White tracksters cli- maxed their season by running away with all conference com- petition, winning several meets by 50 points or better. Lewis Taylor achieved outstanding recognition at the an- nual Illinois Tech relays by outsprinting several better known four year college track stars to win the 70-yard dash in :07.3. It was the second time that Taylor gained this signal honor. Henry Bledsoe proved himself a hurdler and jumper of excep- tional merit while leading the scoring parade. In one meet Bledsoe came up with a staggering total of 25 points. Other notable contributors to Wilson ' s success included Jim McKeon, half miler, and Glen Chalfant and Bob Campbell, who ran the one and two mile events respectively. Outstand- ing among the relay men were Henry Ferrara, Jesse Goldsmith, Archie Covington, and Eugene Long. In the field events Wilson was ably represented by Lou Mankus, George McClowry, and Oliver Rondel, the latter also olding Wilson ' s winning ways in the javelin throw. liaieJusU Displaying a high-calibre brand of ball that again ranked them high in the Northern Illinois Junior College conference, Coach Stockdale ' s Wilson baseball team concluded another successful campaign. The Raiders began their drive for a third consecutive diamond pennant in dynamic fashion by walloping LaGrange, 14-2, at Ogden Park, site of Wilson home games. Wilson baseball fans owe much of this year ' s success to hurlers Wally Soderlind and Bob Northrup, both of whom employed a hopping smoke ball to good advantage; George Wassack, chunky, slugging catcher; Bob Tabbert, long range hitting outfielder; Lefty Hermann, slick-fielding, clutch-hitting first sacker; and Bill Kleist, who powdered the pellet in the pinches. Other players who added punch to the attack and zip to the defense were Frank Stuber, hustling little third sacker with good lead-off qualities; Jim O ' Hore, second-sacker whose field- ing feats cut off many an opposing rally; Nate Freeman, who capably doubled as catcher and infielder; Hank Polos, left fielder who had a knack of hitting ' em hard and often; and outfielders Joe Kuschell, Boze Berger, and Joe Bartollota. Vern Klockzien, troubled by a sore arm in the earlier weeks, proved to be of considerable value after hot weather set in. Red Roman, southpaw moundsman, with a deceptive mo- tion and a world of stuff; Philip Mills, a right bonder with good possibilities and plenty of swift ; and Warren Fierke, he of the alive fast ball, completed the hurling staff. A spring vacation jaunt in which they travelled to play Detroit, Ohio University, Findlay, and St. Joseph ' s College of Rensselaer, Indiana, highlighted the early campaign. Besides their conference tiffs against such traditional rivals as Wright, North Park, and Herzl, the Raiders also encountered the Univer- sity of Chicago in several practice encounters besides taking their usual jaunt to Joliet to play the Stateville prison team. FmST ROW: Jim Holderman, Bill Maier, Fred Goodman, Coach Stockdale, Henry Baillie, Joe Hii Smith, Warren Fierke, Willie Johnson, Morris Eppley, Joe Kaposta, Con Kubina, Sid Sorkin. Milton Lakin. SECOND ROW: James Another sports champio nship came to Wilson when a fighting band of Raider swimmers, coached by Mr. Carl Stockdale, climaxed their season by walking off with the state champion- ship in the big junior college meet held at the Jewish People ' s Institute. Henry Baillie, 100-yard breast stroke artist, was elected honorary captain at the annual banquet. Joe Hines was a standout in the 220-yard free style event and in the relays, as was Johnson, while Smith and Holderman held forth as divers. Conrad Kubina distinguished himself in the 100-yard free-style event. Eppley and Flannagan were 40-yard free style mainstays, while Fierke and Maier garnered points con- sistently in the back stroke. In all athletic competition there are usually some students who, either through lack of ability or for some other good reason, ore unable to compete with the varsity teams. It is for these students that intramural sports are conducted. These intramural athletic activities have always held a prominent place in the interests of the Wilson student body. This year Coach Svarc acted as director of intra- mural athletics and is to be com- mended for a splendid job. Undoubtedly the biggest intra- mural sports event of the 1940- ' 41 season — at least from the stand- point of student participation — was the battle for the basketball title. Upwards of 150 students, rep- resenting 22 teams, answered the opening call to battle before be- ginning the three day grind. Hotly contested competition, featured by a surprising number of well-balanced quintets, was cli- maxed as the Wilson Trotters, miniature edition of the Harlem Globe Trotters, and a sky-scraping Dying Quintet squared off in the battle for highest stakes. Ironically enough, the championship game wasn ' t as close as expected and the Trotters, sparked by sensa- tional ball-handling and the sharp scoring technique of the Lyle brothers and Horton, knocked off their foe convincingly, 23-11. Gold medals were awarded to the vic- torious Trotters. Wrestling, Softball, swimming, golf, fencing, and table tennis were also included in Wilson ' s intramural program. Medals were also distributed to the winners of these events. The wrestling intramural meet, held last December, saw Ben Sasnow, win the heavyweight crown as Joe Kaposi took runner- up honors. Clarence Holubek and Dick Makowski finished one-two in the 1 18 pound class while Glen Chalfant shaded Dean Spencer to cop the 126 pound crown. Louis Dassie defeated Robert Judd in the 135 pound finale. Bradshow Johnson and Phil Dickinson went to the 148 pound finals, the former winning. Rudnick knocked off Bob Livermore in the 160 pound class. Ed Vebell took five straight matches to win the fencing title while Ed Urbanik and Dick Leboy finished second and third respec- tively. Maier, Kaposta, L. Hines, Fierke, and Nord finished tops in swimming intramurals. Kempf and King were table tennis champs. 120 f Vt l Intramurals Qo4 Although they didn ' t ring up any championship laurels, Wil- son ' s golf team, paced by Captain John Skworch, turned in a credit- able showing, taking fourth place in the conference last fall, besides giving a good account of them- selves in the state meet this spring. Coach Svarc experienced no little success in his first season as head mentor of the golfers. In addition to Captain Skworch, the Raider golfers had on their squad such capable performers as Martenson, O ' Connor, Martin, and Timosciek. Wilson ' s extensive schedule included meets with Wright, Joliet, LaSalle-Peru, Mor- ton, and Maine. The Raiders came up with their best showing of the season when they defeated Mor- ton, 8 4-3 4. The fairway special- ists also came through with a great performance in their final clash of the season against Wil- son ' s long-standing arch-rivals, the Wright Ramblers. Don Martensen, Bob O ' O e4i4Ui Under the tutelage of Coach Svarc, Wilson ' s tennis team smashed its way to an impressive record against conference oppon- ents. The Raider racqueteers also encountered DePaul University in a pre-season practice tilt. High- light of the season occurred on May 24th in the big individual meet held at Maine Junior Col- lege. This meet was doubly cli- mactic since it marked the end of the conference season. The Raiders opened court hos- tilities by trouncing LaGrange, 3-2, in one of the best played meets of the year. Joliet and Herzl, among others, were also included in the tennis conference. The Raider court addicts held their home matches at the University of Chicago. Number one man of the squad was Gene Belson, a fast moving boy whose smashing serve made him Wilson ' s biggest threat. Bob Kulvin and Lefty Roman also delivered standout performances in the various conference meets. FIRST HOW: Thomas Roman, Bob Kulvin. SECOND ROW: Eugene Belson, Carl Anderson, Ian Andrew, Ray Echt, Irving Goldberg, Foster Eaumgartner, John Schultz, Edv rard Turner. QoGcUeA, Much of the credit for Wilson ' s long string of sports champion- ships is due to a competent, hard- working coaching staff, who might well be referred to as the S men. Headed by athletic director Charles Smidl, the staff also in- cludes Carl Stockdale, Walter Smith, and Francis Svarc, the lat- ter having joined forces with Wilson in the fall of 1940. Coach Stockdale, head mentor of the football team, also handles baseball and swimming. Coach Smith, or Smitty as he is more commonly known, has been di- recting Wilson ' s track destinies for three seasons. He doubles as line coach of the football squad. Coach Svarc took over the bas- ketball reins last fall besides coaching tennis and golf. Coach Svarc also acted as director of intramural athletics. It is to the above named men that the entire Wilson student body pays tribute. It was through these coaches ' untiring efforts on behalf of the boys that the Raiders were able to reach the top in sports championships. LEFT TO RIGHT; Smith, Stockdale, Smidl. GUee deade LEFT TO RIGHT: Olqa Cibulsky, Madelon Kontelas, Norah LaVelle, Frank Winslow. Come on RaidersI Go, Wilson, go! Championship teams always draw plaudits from the crowd, so naturally Wilson ' s cheerleaders are kept busy directing these cheers. Coach Charles P. Smidl, Wilson ' s athletic director, had charge of the cheerleading staff. Whether a winning touchdown, a game breaking basket, or any similar bit of heroics is involved, Wilson ' s cheerleaders, decked out in the school colors of Scarlet and White, are always ready to lead the crowd in giving voice to their approval. And since Wilson won a championship in every sport, said cheerleaders had ample op- portunity to go through their paces. These cheerleaders also took part in the leading of cheers and the singing of Wilson ' s battle song during the pep meetings held in the Auditorium before big sports events. The strong-voiced Wilson quar- tet who kept the spirit of the crowd at a high pitch and gave moral support to the athletes on the field included Olga Cibulsky, Madelon Kontelas, Norah Lavelle, and Frank Winslow.
